Becoming a musician can be overwhelming.
Sometimes we look at the greats: Beethoven, Joplin, Hendrix, Florence—or whoever your idols may be—and we are so impressed it seems crazy, perhaps even arrogant, to imagine we could ever reach their heights.

“Always aim for the Moon.

Never let the overwhelming world of music, music theory or aural skills stop you from getting started—or from keeping up your momentum!
